Discount you can get
40% off your next annual renewal
How to unlock this discount
Log in to your Evernote account at evernote.com and navigate to Settings → Billing (or Account → Manage Subscription).
Click 'Cancel Subscription' to enter the cancellation flow. Do NOT look for any other path — this is the only way to trigger the retention screen.
When asked why you are leaving, select 'Too Expensive' from the list of reasons. This is the most reliable trigger for the discount offer.
Evernote will present a retention screen offering approximately 40% off your next billing cycle. Review the offer details carefully.
Click 'Accept Offer' or 'Keep My Subscription' to lock in the discounted rate. Your subscription continues at the reduced price.
Insider Tips
Always choose 'Too Expensive' as your cancellation reason — multiple user reports confirm this is the strongest trigger for the 40% retention discount
If a free-text field appears, mentioning Notion or OneNote as alternatives you are considering can reinforce the signal
Some users report that declining the first 40% offer and continuing toward full cancellation occasionally surfaces a steeper discount (up to 50%), but this is risky — you may complete the cancellation with no second offer
A safer aggressive strategy: let your subscription fully lapse without renewing, then wait a few days for a win-back email, which has been reported at up to 60% off
